School Policies

Peanut Policy

We currently have three students with life threatening allergies to peanuts and peanut products which cause anaphylactic reactions.

Because of our Halachic, moral, and ethical responsibility to provide a safe place of learning for every student, the entire Torah School of Greater Washington is a PEANUT FREE ZONE. This means that NO peanut butter, peanuts, or products containing peanuts may be brought to school.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause parents or students. However, please rest assured that we would take similar precautions for any child in the Torah School. Please note that there are presently many schools across the nation that have become PEANUT FREE as a schoolwide policy. In fact, Bais Yaakov Elementary School in Baltimore is included in this quickly-growing group of institutions.
